The story of the Steelhawks season… injuries. I’m not sure of the total for the season but it seemed our beloved Hawks got hurt more often than not this season. I just read the notes on their game out in Green Bay last night.. a rough loss and 4 players went down early and the team played with a short squad. To their heart though, they ended up scoring over 20 points with the short squad and looking at this team over the long run they played on a lot of pride and effort. Several of their losses were overtime heartbreakers and injuries took their toll.
I have to say I quickly fell in love with this team and their organization. Can’t wait for next year’s season!

Last night, with encouragement from my friend at the Corner Seat Blog, I attended the Lehigh Valley Rollergirls roller derby match. Not sure if it’s called a match or not but it was a good time. A big crowd of people filed into the Family Fun Center on Independence Road in Schnecksville and it took me a while to grasp the rules but I enjoyed the excitement of it all. They have a few home home “matches” throughout the rest of the year so stay tuned and stop out and support this sport.

Just letting you know Dan, a lot of the people in the Steelhawks organization are part of the Steelers outdoor simi-pro team. Those are some exciting games there. I showed some people to them last year and they loved it. Just a heads up if you get bored this Summer/Fall.
Thanks Shaun! Do they have a website with a schedule? We’ll be sure to get there.
The website is lvsteelers.com, they don’t have the schedule for the year yet but there home games are August 6th, August 27th, September 10th September 24th and October 1st. I announce the games for them so thats why I got the early schedule but spread the word. There a great team, they just need a bigger fan base. They won the league championship 2 years in a row now too.
Nice! We’ll be sure to get the word out. Shoot me an email at editor@LVnoisenation.com with details and press releases. I’ll make sure to help support!
Good seeing you last night. I am glad you were able to experience first hand the excitement of Roller Derby and the LVRG. You can call it a match or a game if you like and I often use those terms interchangeably, they call them ’bouts’ to emphasize the agressive nature of this full contact sport.
